And you could ...read more

    Paul ambition was to preach the gospel where it has never been declared.

    I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else’s foundation, but as it is written, “Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand.” Paul concluded the main section of his letter ...read more

    These are the 6 roars of the lion as implied in Peter’s warning about the devil and how to deal with them.

    MUZZLING THE LION’S ROAR “Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion…” (1 Peter 5:8). Our cat epitomizes evil. Twice in the last week or so he has appeared at the patio doors with a bird in his mouth. He’s trying to impress us but I find it revolting to see this poor bird in the ...read more

    He will never selfishly devour resources, but rather understands that resources flow from Christ through him. Therefore, he perceives himself to be a conduit of resources and does everything he can to remain connected to these resources through obedience.

    Well as promised, we’re just navigating our way through the 9 Attributes of a Man of God. Today we are on the topic of deliberately producing growth in our life. Attribute number 7. And as agreed, I promised that I was going to deliver a verse to you every time on one thing that Jesus did, and one ...read more

    This sermon looks at rest, the importance of rest, and the types of tiredness we can have, and how Christ satisfies them with His rest.

    I want you to think of a time in your life when you were exhausted. That moment when the tank was empty, you were depleted, and you had nothing left to give. Think of that time. Think of the most tiring day, or season, in your entire life. Recall the feelings and emotions. For me, the moment ...read more

    When we read the accounts of the resurrection of Jesus it seems as if His enemies believed He had risen and His followers did not. In this contemporary world many are trying to put Jesus back into the tomb and re-seal it with the stone of death!

    Friday! Jesus is dead. The sinless Son of God given as a sacrifice for our salvation. He is dead. Not so fast, buddy! Jesus is ALIVE!!! Just three days after He was crucified and put into a guarded sealed tomb! And, we’ve got two amazing groups of people 1) His enemies who know He’s ...read more

    When we take the bread, we are partaking of Jesus Christ. We are saying, “Yes, I believe you are the Bread of Life.” Jesus, Himself, is the nourishment that gives us eternal life.

    As the Light of the World Jesus takes us out of darkness and worldliness. Darkness and worldliness does not come because we are the worst we can be; it comes because we are following the distraction of Satan who masquerades as an angel of light.

    Message John 8:12 I Am The Light of the World When Jesus describes Himself as The Light we can quickly understand the significance of the metaphor. Light gives direction. Light pierces the darkness. Light takes away fear, uncertainty, and hesitancy. Light reveals truth. We get the metaphor. Those ...read more
